Coppélia

A beautiful, life-like doll and two quarrelling young lovers create comic chaos in this spirited Romantic-era ballet with a distinctly Australian flair.

Six years after the arrival of Dr Coppelius in their village, Swanilda and her friends are intrigued by Coppélia – the luminous young woman that appears on his balcony. Jealous of her sweetheart Franz’s interest in the doctor’s mysterious ‘daughter’, Swanilda sneaks into his house to confront her rival. But all is not as it seems – and when the doctor discovers Franz is another intruder, delightful mayhem follows!

Set in the sun-drenched South Australian town of Hahndorf in the late 19th century, Greg Horsman’s Coppélia is a light-hearted, mischievous ballet that will charm audiences of all ages.
